Why student journalists have been crucial to the world’s understanding of the story

How student journalists have helped mainstream media to report pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges, Al Jazeera responds to its ban from Israel.

US university campuses have been the scene of pro-Palestinian demonstrations over the last month. We assess the challenges of reporting the protests and hear why student journalists have been crucial to our understanding of the story. Also in the programme, Al Jazeera responds to the restrictions imposed on it by the Israeli government, and the experience of one reporter at the Met Gala.
